You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

It's a weird artifact of (mostly) American journalists copying British journalists despite the fact that most Americans pronounce the "h" in "historic".

People are free to pronounce things however they want, but it sounds strange because it's an uncommon combination of sounds in American English.

I'm building an alternative streaming option for artists called tracklist:// where they will be able to self-host their music catalog and stream it directly to fans.

As musicians ourselves, our goal is to empower artists with connection.

imagine if flipping a coin also had a batshit zachtronics-like system for building elaborate chain reactions around the result. now, imagine that same game had the jokes and thematic chutzpah of universal paperclips, bc it was written by the same person. now imagine there was a demo. well guess what

We made a new game. It’s called Q-UP. It’s a coin flipping eSport. There’s a free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

The fact that Kaleb Horton died begging for work instead having a column at some hip legacy mag is such an indictment of this industry. People should have been begging to put him on payroll. But nope, we've reserved that space for Ezra Klein

for some reason the kaleb friend memory that comes to me first, of all things, is this one time he got something for me from his mom’s house and it was his old DVD set of serial experiments lain. we laughed a lot like mindblown middle schoolers. an exceptional riffer with perfect taste in all genres
